Consumer Description

VEHICLE ONLY HAS 12,800 MILES. 4TH TRIP TO THE LOCAL DEALER. 3 TIMES TOWED DUE TO THE DISABLE. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND HAS NO POWER. 1ST TIME WAS INFORMED DURING GEN. MAINTENANCE THE COMPUTER HOUSED NO DATA AS THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN PUTTING IT INTO GEAR. THE NEXT 3 TIMES WERE ALL IDENTICAL AS IT IS CLEAR IT IS STARVATION OF FUEL. FUEL PUMP CHANGED AFTER 1ST TOW. SENDING UNIT CHANGED AFTER 2ND TOW. NOT SURE AFTER 3RD TOW YET. IT IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AS THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE MOTOR CREATES LOSS OF POWER STEERING. NOT TO MENTION BEING DISABLED IN TRAFFIC AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS! IN ADDITION THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND HAS BEEN ON ORDER FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. NOW I CAN SAFELY HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. ALSO MINOR BUT THE FRONT BUMPER IS ALREADY RUSTING! AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. *TR
